What Does This Pulse Rate Indicate?
my husband has a pulse of 145 what does this mean. I don t have a BP monitor to check his blood pressure just an Oxo miter. He was changing out the brakes on the car, got up and his heart started racing. He has been sitting for about 15 min. and pulse has not changed. Please advise

Hi,
From history all of sudden having this much high pules rate requires evaluation of his case.
This can be due to stress or anxiety.
There might be having some cardiac problem like Supra venticular tachycardia or Auricular fibrilation.
Consult physician as soon as possible and get examined.
He might require EKG, Echo and cardiac enzyme test.
Meanwhile give him complete rest.
Ok and take care.
